    ^^^ Very well said, if you have someone with deep pockets backing you its not as difficult.
    And as far as self made man, thanks for the compliment but it takes a ton of support from family, friends, and the right employees to build a successful business.

    I decided to wait a little bit (probably another 15 years) till I can afford to open a performance shop the way I want.



    MI6TA, don't let my feeble attempt dissuade you any. If I had the drive to open my own shop when I was your age, I'd have done things a lot differently. I'm knee deep in a mortgage with a two car garage. My neighbors frown on me for changing my oil in the driveway.

    That's why I said get your own place, where you can build a shop & do what you want, when you want.
